Changes in NAD and Lipid Metabolism Drive Acidosis-Induced Acute Kidney Injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The kidney plays an important role in maintaining normal blood pH. Metabolic acidosis (MA) upregulates the pathway that mitochondria in the proximal tubule (PT) use to produce ammonia and bicarbonate from glutamine, and is associated with AKI. However, the extent to which MA causes AKI, and thus whether treating MA would be beneficial, is unclear.

Methods

Gavage with ammonium chloride induced acute MA. Multiphoton imaging of mitochondria (NADH/membrane potential) and transport function (dextran/albumin uptake), oxygen consumption rate (OCR) measurements in isolated tubules, histologic analysis, and electron microscopy in fixed tissue, and urinary biomarkers (KIM-1/clara cell 16) assessed tubular cell structure and function in mouse kidney cortex.

Results

MA induces an acute change in NAD redox state (toward oxidation) in PT mitochondria, without changing the mitochondrial energization state. This change is associated with a switch toward complex I activity and decreased maximal OCR, and a major alteration in normal lipid metabolism, resulting in marked lipid accumulation in PTs and the formation of large multilamellar bodies. These changes, in turn, lead to acute tubular damage and a severe defect in solute uptake. Increasing blood pH with intravenous bicarbonate substantially improves tubular function, whereas preinjection with the NAD precursor nicotinamide (NAM) is highly protective.

Conclusions

MA induces AKI via changes in PT NAD and lipid metabolism, which can be reversed or prevented by treatment strategies that are viable in humans. These findings might also help to explain why MA accelerates decline in function in CKD.

Acidosis and acute kidney injury in severe malaria.

Project description:BackgroundIn severe falciparum malaria metabolic acidosis and acute kidney injury (AKI) are independent predictors of a fatal outcome in all age groups. The relationship between plasma acids, urine acids and renal function was investigated in adult patients with acute falciparum malaria.MethodsPlasma and urinary acids which previously showed increased concentrations in proportion to disease severity in patients with severe falciparum malaria were quantified. Patients with uncomplicated malaria, sepsis and healthy volunteers served as comparator groups. Multiple regression and multivariate analysis were used to assess the relationship between organic acid concentrations and clinical syndromes, in particular AKI.ResultsPatients with severe malaria (n?=?90), uncomplicated malaria (n?=?94), non-malaria sepsis (n?=?19), and healthy volunteers (n?=?61) were included. Univariate analysis showed that both plasma and creatinine-adjusted urine concentrations of p-hydroxyphenyllactic acid (pHPLA) were higher in severe malaria patients with AKI (p?<?0.001). Multiple regression analysis, including plasma or creatinine-adjusted urinary acids, and PfHRP2 as parasite biomass marker as independent variables, showed that pHPLA was independently associated with plasma creatinine (??=?0.827) and urine creatinine (??=?0.226). Principal component analysis, including four plasma acids and seven urinary acids separated a group of patients with AKI, which was mainly driven by pHPLA concentrations.ConclusionsBoth plasma and urine concentrations of pHPLA closely correlate with AKI in patients with severe falciparum malaria. Further studies will need to assess the potential nephrotoxic properties of pHPLA.

Mitochondrial and NAD+ metabolism predict recovery from acute kidney injury in a diverse mouse population.

Project description:Acute kidney failure and chronic kidney disease are global health issues steadily rising in incidence and prevalence. Animal models on a single genetic background have so far failed to recapitulate the clinical presentation of human nephropathies. Here, we used a simple model of folic acid-induced kidney injury in 7 highly diverse mouse strains. We measured plasma and urine parameters, as well as renal histopathology and mRNA expression data, at 1, 2, and 6 weeks after injury, covering the early recovery and long-term remission. We observed an extensive strain-specific response ranging from complete resistance of the CAST/EiJ to high sensitivity of the C57BL/6J, DBA/2J, and PWK/PhJ strains. In susceptible strains, the severe early kidney injury was accompanied by the induction of mitochondrial stress response (MSR) genes and the attenuation of NAD+ synthesis pathways. This is associated with delayed healing and a prolonged inflammatory and adaptive immune response 6 weeks after insult, heralding a transition to chronic kidney disease. Through a thorough comparison of the transcriptomic response in mouse and human disease, we show that critical metabolic gene alterations were shared across species, and we highlight the PWK/PhJ strain as an emergent model of transition from acute kidney injury to chronic disease.

Metabolic Acidosis is Associated With Acute Kidney Injury in Patients With CKD.

Project description:IntroductionMetabolic acidosis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) results from a loss of kidney function. It has been associated with CKD progression, all-cause mortality, and other adverse outcomes. We aimed to determine whether metabolic acidosis is associated with a higher risk of acute kidney injury (AKI).MethodsThis was a retrospective cohort study. Using electronic health records and administrative data, we enrolled 2 North American cohorts of patients with CKD Stages G3-G5 as follows: (i) 136,067 patients in the US electronic medical record (EMR) based cohort; and (ii) 34,957 patients in the Manitoba claims-based cohort. The primary exposure was metabolic acidosis (serum bicarbonate between 12 mEq/l and <22 mEq/l). The primary outcome was the development of AKI (defined using ICD-9 and 10 codes at hospital admission or a laboratory-based definition based on Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guidelines). We applied Cox proportional hazards regression models adjusting for relevant demographic and clinical characteristics.ResultsIn both cohorts, metabolic acidosis was associated with AKI: hazard ratio (HR) 1.57 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.52-1.61) in the US EMR cohort, and HR 1.65 (95% CI 1.58-1.73) in the Manitoba claims cohort. The association was consistent when serum bicarbonate was treated as a continuous variable, and in multiple subgroups, and sensitivity analyses including those adjusting for albuminuria.ConclusionMetabolic acidosis is associated with a higher risk of AKI in patients with CKD. AKI should be considered as an outcome in studies of treatments for patients with metabolic acidosis.

Dietary PUFAs drive diverse system-level changes in lipid metabolism.

Project description:ObjectivePolyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplements have been trialled as a treatment for a number of conditions and produced a variety of results. This variety is ascribed to the supplements, that often comprise a mixture of fatty acids, and to different effects in different organs. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the supplementation of individual PUFAs has system-level effects that are dependent on the molecular structure of the PUFA.MethodsWe undertook a network analysis using Lipid Traffic Analysis to identify both local and system-level changes in lipid metabolism using publicly available lipidomics data from a mouse model of supplementation with FA(20:4n-6), FA(20:5n-3), and FA(22:6n-3); arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid, respectively. Lipid Traffic Analysis is a new computational/bioinformatics tool that uses the spatial distribution of lipids to pinpoint changes or differences in control of metabolism, thereby suggesting mechanistic reasons for differences in observed lipid metabolism.ResultsThere was strong evidence for changes to lipid metabolism driven by and dependent on the structure of the supplemented PUFA. Phosphatidylcholine and triglycerides showed a change in the variety more than the total number of variables, whereas phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylinositol showed considerable change in both which variables and the number of them, in a highly PUFA-dependent manner. There was also evidence for changes to the endogenous biosynthesis of fatty acids and to both the elongation and desaturation of fatty acids.ConclusionsThese results show that the full biological impact of PUFA supplementation is far wider than any single-organ effect and implies that supplementation and dosing with PUFAs require a system-level assessment.

De novo NAD+ biosynthetic impairment in acute kidney injury in humans.

Project description:Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) extends longevity in experimental organisms, raising interest in its impact on human health. De novo NAD+ biosynthesis from tryptophan is evolutionarily conserved yet considered supplanted among higher species by biosynthesis from nicotinamide (NAM). Here we show that a bottleneck enzyme in de novo biosynthesis, quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase (QPRT), defends renal NAD+ and mediates resistance to acute kidney injury (AKI). Following murine AKI, renal NAD+ fell, quinolinate rose, and QPRT declined. QPRT+/- mice exhibited higher quinolinate, lower NAD+, and higher AKI susceptibility. Metabolomics suggested an elevated urinary quinolinate/tryptophan ratio (uQ/T) as an indicator of reduced QPRT. Elevated uQ/T predicted AKI and other adverse outcomes in critically ill patients. A phase 1 placebo-controlled study of oral NAM demonstrated a dose-related increase in circulating NAD+ metabolites. NAM was well tolerated and was associated with less AKI. Therefore, impaired NAD+ biosynthesis may be a feature of high-risk hospitalizations for which NAD+ augmentation could be beneficial.

NAD+ Biosynthesis Impairment and Acute Kidney Injury after Major Vascular Surgery.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious complication after vascular surgery. Reduced synthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) from tryptophan is associated with an increased risk of AKI in critically ill patients, patients hospitalized with COVID-19, and cardiac surgery patients, and is marked by elevated urinary quinolinate and quinolinate to tryptophan ratios. We measured quinolinate concentrations in vascular surgery patients to determine if impaired NAD+ synthesis was associated with AKI in this patient population. Eight preoperative and eight postoperative vascular surgery patients who developed AKI were selected from a parent study to participate in this single-center case-control study. They were matched with controls who did not develop AKI based on age, sex, BMI, eGFR, hypertension, and diabetes. Urinary quinolinate and tryptophan concentrations were measured at anesthetic induction and on postoperative day one. Two-sided Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare quinolinate and quinolinate to tryptophan ratios. Multivariate linear regression modeling was used to estimate the relationship between quinolinate and serum creatinine. There was no difference in preoperative or postoperative urine quinolinate concentrations or the preoperative quinolinate to tryptophan ratio between patients that did and did not develop AKI (p = 0.07, 0.50, and 0.32, respectively). However, postoperative quinolinate to tryptophan ratios were higher in AKI patients (p = 0.04). Further, after adjustment for AKI risk factors, higher preoperative quinolinate concentrations and higher postoperative quinolinate to tryptophan ratios were associated with greater postoperative creatinine increases (p = 0.04 and 0.04, respectively). These data suggest that impaired NAD+ synthesis may contribute to AKI development in vascular surgery patients.

Changes in zinc and manganese concentrations in cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury.

Project description:Cisplatin (CDDP) is a widely used anticancer drug, but acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most important dose-limiting factors. Trace metal elements are present in various concentrations in the body and play an important role in maintaining normal vital functions. However, the relationship between CDDP-induced AKI and trace metal elements is unknown. In this study, we cultured human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells in the presence of CDDP (0, 12.5, 25, 50 μM) and analyzed the concentration of trace elements in medium after 24 h. We found that CDDP significantly increased the concentrations of zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) in medium and significantly decreased them in lysate. Therefore, we examined the effects of CDDP (3 mg/kg, i.p.) administration on serum and urinary Zn and Mn concentrations in rats. The results showed that urinary excretion of Zn and Mn increased in CDDP-treated rats 5 days after administration. Also, 5 days after administration, pyknosis, nuclear loss, loss of the brush border membrane, and DNA fragmentation were observed, and serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels were found to be significantly increased. These data suggested that 24-h excretion of Zn and Mn might reflect on CDDP induced nephropathy. Monitoring urinary Zn and Mn excretion may be beneficial in detecting AKI, but further studies are needed for clinical application.

Trauma induced acute kidney injury.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Injured patients are at risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI), which is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to describe the incidence, timing, and severity of AKI in a large trauma population, identify risk factors for AKI, and report mortality outcomes. METHODS:A prospective observational study of injured adults, who met local criteria for trauma team activation, and were admitted to a UK Major Trauma Centre. AKI was defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard modelling was used to analyse parameters associated with AKI and mortality. RESULTS:Of the 1410 patients enrolled in the study, 178 (12.6%) developed AKI. Age; injury severity score (ISS); admission systolic blood pressure, lactate and serum creatinine; units of Packed Red Blood Cells transfused in first 24 hours and administration of nephrotoxic therapy were identified as independent risk factors for the development of AKI. Patients that developed AKI had significantly higher mortality than those with normal renal function (47/178 [26.4%] versus 128/1232 [10.4%]; OR 3.09 [2.12 to 4.53]; p<0.0001). After adjusting for other clinical prognostic factors, AKI was an independent risk factor for mortality. CONCLUSIONS:AKI is a frequent complication following trauma and is associated with prolonged hospital length of stay and increased mortality. Future research is needed to improve our ability to rapidly identify those at risk of AKI, and develop resuscitation strategies that preserve renal function in trauma patients.

Targeting Mitochondria and Metabolism in Acute Kidney Injury.

Project description:Acute kidney injury (AKI) significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. AKI is also an independent risk factor for the development and progression of chronic kidney disease. Effective therapeutic strategies for AKI are limited, but emerging evidence indicates a prominent role of mitochondrial dysfunction and altered tubular metabolism in the pathogenesis of AKI. Therefore, a comprehensive, mechanistic understanding of mitochondrial function and renal metabolism in AKI may lead to the development of novel therapies in AKI. In this review, we provide an overview of current state of research on the role of mitochondria and tubular metabolism in AKI from both pre-clinical and clinical studies. We also highlight current therapeutic strategies which target mitochondrial function and metabolic pathways for the treatment of AKI.
